I know this is a bit off-topic, but I'm having trouble applying this 
patch. The way I understand the -p option of patch, if I am within the 
grass6 directory, I have to use 'patch -p3 < changes.diff'

which should turn

/grassrepository/grass6/vector/v.digit/attr.c

into vector/v.digit/attr.c.

But whatever number I try for p, I always get:

mlennert at geog-pc40:~/SRC/GRASS/CVS/grass6$ patch -p3 < changes.diff
missing header for unified diff at line 11 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 11
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:

At this point, entering the file path manually works.

I even tried erasing the /grassrepository/grass6/ from each file path, 
but that gave me the same message (using -p0).

Nothing really important, but just having me confused.
